Destinations Alliance hosted buyers from agencies including BCD M&E, Fourleaf Events, Amex GBT, CL Venues and many more for an afternoon of networking with some of its convention bureau members at Fortnum & Mason last week.
Buyers spent a relaxed afternoon enjoying a relaxed afternoon tea and catching up with convention bureau representatives for Abu Dhabi, Malta, France, Lille, Switzerland, Toronto, Dubai, Japan, Korea, Copenhagen, Singapore and San Francisco.
From short haul to long haul, Destinations Alliance is a network of convention bureaus from city, regional and national tourist boards from a variety of excitingly diverse countries worldwide all with a specific focus on the UK outbound market. Convention bureaus offer planners honest, impartial and expert advice on their destinations, all free of charge.
The organisation hosts several events a year targeting UK event organisers from associations, agencies and corporate planners.
By working together as a collective, the Destinations Alliance members can provide better value to buyers, giving them the opportunity to get updates on multiple destinations by attending just one event, instead of having to attend 10 or 15 different events.
